Tamori bowed her head, her mahogany bangs falling over her eyes as she listened to the people speaking. The young woman never said a single word as the orders were dealt out. "Tamori?" A man asked in a harsh tone, "Are you paying attention? You're a big part of this," he snarled darkly as he grabbed the woman's arm.

At the touch of the man, Tamori's head snapped up, a kunai at the man's throat, "You underestimate me." She snapped back, her once sincere eyes burning with a fight that none of the shinobi around her had ever seen. Slowly, the man's hand dropped from her arm, his eyes burning with hatred as he stared at her, "I'm Uzumaki Naruto's student." Turning her back on the small group of people, with sharp eyes she turned and looked back, "Don't you dare underestimate me."

The small crowd was silent as she walked out into the crowd of people, quieting her chakra. "Are you sure this was a good idea?" Questioned a shadowy figure, "What happens if she fails?"

The man could only grin, "What would it matter? She's been ostracized by the village already. She knows her place."

Genma pressed the porcelain against his lips once again, smirking at the man beside him, "It's been a long time since I've gotten to drink with you," he teased as he looked over to the tipsy Copy Ninja. "Still cant hold your liquor, I see," he teased as he drank the sake within the cup.

Kakashi gave a quiet groan, frustrated with the fact that he had to keep looking away, pulling his mask down, and drinking the sake, "It'd be easier with a straw." He muttered softly under his breath.

Genma laughed, patting the man on the shoulder, "But that's no fun for me!" Kakashi could only sigh and lean against his arm. Genma's slowly faded, "Wow," he gasped out as he nudged Kakashi's side, "Look." Hesitantly, Kakashi turned to see what Genma had been staring at.

With just a simple look, Kakshi felt his heart begin to race. Though there were so many people in the room, Kakashi's eyes went straight to what Genma had seen; straight to her. Haruno Sakura stood in the center of a circle of men, laughing politely to herself at their shameless flirting. His eyes couldn't help but go up and down her body as he stared at her in shock. The woman in front of him was nothing short of a goddess by the way she looked. Genma took another shot and grinned, "Looks like Sakura-chan's getting laid tonight." He chuckled. Kakashi's eyes sharpened as he instinctively hit the man next to him, making Genma laugh even more. "Calm down, Kakashi, we all know she's spoken for."

Kakashi's eyes widened as he stared at the man, "W-What do you mean?" he stuttered softly as he waited for the man to explain; his heart pounding in his ears. Shit.

Genma rose a brow, "What else don't you know about your students?" Kakashi's eyes only narrowed, urging the man to explain quicker than he was. "Sakura-chan's engaged to the Uchiha."

"What?" the word was breathless, Kakashi's heart sinking into his stomach as his breathing became almost none existent.

Suddenly caught off guard Kakashi nearly fell off his chair as an elbow collided with his ribcage. "Kakashi-san!" Kamiko groaned as the blush painted across his face, the smell of liquor flowing from his every moment. "Man, you stink," she groaned as she held her nose. Kakashi lethargically turned to the woman, "Can we talk?" Kamiko whimpered quietly as her eyes softened. The action alone made Kakashi feel slightly unsettled.

Genma turned, a drunken blush painting across his cheeks as well, a smirk playing softly on his features, "You two talk… I see something I like better."

Kakashi gave a low growl, Damn it, he needs to explain, but he could only shake his head as his best friend left his seat; prowling after some unsuspecting woman.

Kakashi turned to the girl with a blank expression, waiting for her to explain herself. "Drinking?" she questioned as she looked at the sake in his hand. He looked away, knowing full well what the young woman was thinking. "I'm actually kind of surprised," she muttered quietly, a smirk on her lips as she quickly gained the man's attention. "You're drinking while Genma-san is flirting with Haruno-san."

Kakashi's eyes tore from Kamiko and landed on Genma and Sakura. Genma softly taking her hand and leading her away from the group of men; blush painting Sakura's cheeks. "Damn it." Kakashi groaned out as he took another shot, motioning for the bartender to get him another. His frustration was reaching an all time high as he turned and looked at the confused teen at his side, "What?"

Kamiko's brows frowned together, He wont be much help like this… but maybe… She bit her lip softly and smiled, "I just cant find Tamori-chan," she muttered softly, "Do you know where the medics would be?" She asked happily, hiding every emotion . Kakashi shook his head, his eyes wondering over to Genma and Sakura as they stood against the wall looking over the many people dancing. "Oh, I'll just ask Haruno-san!"

"I'll do it." Kakashi muttered softly. Kamiko smirked and nodded, not fighting Kakashi's need to talk to the pinkette. Without another word, Kakashi stood up from his chair, shoving his hands into his pockets as he walked off to confront the pinkette. She's engaged? To Sasuke?

"Have you seen her? Haruno-san?" A voice muttered quietly, the name catching Kakashi's attention. His pace slowed as he listened to the conversation coming from a small group of men. "I'd give anything for a girl like that! She's nearly Hokage and just look at her!"

"And can you believe it? A beauty like that, engaged into one of the most powerful clans." Another whispered quietly, his eyes looking over at the pastel haired woman, "She's perfect."

"Don't look too long, the Uchiha's protective of her. He's been watching her every move all night."

Kakashi couldn't help but growl to himself, frustrated by the words. Everyone's staring at her like she's a prize. A prize Sasuke won, he thought to himself bitterly. His fists clenched tightly in his pockets as he walked closer to the woman, unable to control his mind from wondering. He'll get that smile from her, he'll get to make her laugh, to touch her, His mind grew dark as images began to fill his head of the pink haired woman weeks ago during their night alone, he'll get to make her moan, to complete her in every way, to grow old with her… Slowly, Kakashi lifted his head, catching the glowing eyes of the woman his mind was stuck on.

Her emerald eyes pierced through him, making him forget everything he had thought about. Sakura… his whole body yearned for her to smile, anything to let him know that she hadn't completely forgotten him. Is it really true, Sakura, you're engaged to Sasuke?

Why is he looking at me like that? Sakura questioned to herself as she looked at the man approaching her, her eyes begging for any word to escape his lips. Something's wrong, he looks so upset. Turning to the man beside her, she giggled absentmindedly at something he had said, "Genma-san, if you don't mind?" she whispered quietly as her eyes darted towards a small hallway with a restroom sign in the doorway.

Genma scratched the back of his head and nodded, "Please do." He muttered softly as his eyes scanned the room for any more women who he could swipe away from a crowd.

Sakura's eyes met Kakashi's once again before she began walking towards the restroom, her fingertips trailing along the wall as she disappeared; Kakashi quickly following after her.

She stood at the end of the hallway with her hands clasped in front of her, a smile glowing as she looked at his silhouette, "Kakashi," she whispered softly, "It's good to see you," she beamed cheerfully as she tried to hide the confusion and concern in her voice.

Kakashi looked at her, emotions swirling within his grey eyes. That smile… Every step brought him closer to the woman, her eyes analyzing him carefully. When he was right in front of her, he slowly pulled his hands from his pockets. His body yearned for the heat more than ever, knowing that he would never have her again. "Sakura," he whispered softly.

She stepped closer, one hand reaching up to cup his cheek while the other rested on his chest, "You look so sad, Kakashi," her brow frowned together as she looked at the man. A quiet gasp escaped her lips as Kakashi's arms encircled her waist, pulling her as close as possible. Kakashi… her eyes softened as her palms rested against his chest, her forehead nuzzling against his neck.

"You're engaged," Kakashi whispered slowly, the warmth right under his fingertips yet still seeming unattainable even with her in his arms. With the simple words his fingers twitched against her bare back, her soft skin searing his fingertips yet never fully consuming him.

Sakura's eyes fluttered shut as she held back tears for a moment, her fingers tangling in his shirt as their embrace tightened. "I-It's not what you think," she whispered softly as she slowly pulled away. Ever so slowly she hooked her fingers on his mask; slowly tugging down. Her eyes shifted uncomfortably from his lips to his eyes, "There's a lot you don't know, Kakashi," she whispered quietly as she bit her lip softly.

Her fingertips ran over his skin, leaving the trail of heat that he longed for. Her face was so close that he could feel her breath dancing over his lips, the smell of her lip gloss lingering in the air. The way she was looking at him caused the hair on the back of his neck to stand up; the intensity in her eyes going straight to his soul. "Then tell me," he whispered defeatedly as his eyes shut, "Because… I cant stand the thought of any of this." Her brow frowned together in confusion as she looked at the man, his hands slowly dropping from her back, "I-I'm not good at this," he growled quietly almost to himself, his hands digging in his pocket, "but I want to try," he whispered as he slowly pulled a necklace from his pocket; dangling it in front of the woman's face.

Sakura's eyes memorized the jewelry quickly, a gasp lingering in the air from her shock. Kakashi held a durable, yet decorated, silver chain with a pendant dangling at the end. A large soft pink pearl hung like a pendulum at the end of the chain, a glittering diamond standing between the pearl and the silver. Sakura couldn't believe what she was seeing, "What is this…?" she questioned softly.

The man seemed just as confused by it as she did. He shrugged his shoulders and took a step back, "A gift," he whispered softly as he motioned for her to turn around, which she quickly complied. Kakashi silently put the necklace on the woman, his eyes roaming over her skin, "I didn't know you were engaged when I got it… but it wouldn't fit anyone else."

Sakura let her fingers run along the silver chain, her eyes tearing up as she turned back to the man, "Why?" she gasped out quietly.

Kakashi cupped her cheek in his hand, running his course thumb over her cheek as a single tear finally fell, "Because, you deserve better than I could ever give…" Kakashi felt his body beg for the woman; her tears making him ache with the need for her smile. A small smile tugged at his lips as he gave into all the things he had been avoiding.

Sakura's eyes widened as she felt his lips against hers; a soft shy kiss. Her mind shut down as her eyes fluttered shut, her lips moving against his. Kakashi felt heat explode throughout his body as the woman returned his kiss. He softly brushed his tongue against her lips, She tastes so sweet… Just as he thought that, he tasted something sweeter; her tongue. Her hot wet tongue brushed against his softly. I cant, she's engaged. Kakashi, quickly regaining his conscious, slowly pulled away; only to have the woman softly suck at his bottom lip. Damn it…

She gave a quiet whimper as she looked at him in confusion, her fingers tracing over her lips softly. Kakashi bowed his head, quickly putting his mask back on, "Sakura," he whispered softly as he tried to explain what had just happened. His hands slowly found their way back to his pockets as he shifted uncomfortably, "As much as I want to… I wont be able to love you the way you want." His eyes pleaded with her for a single bit of understanding, yet the tears glistening in her eyes was enough for him.

"That's enough." A low growl echoed through the hall. The voice was enough to make Sakura's tears fall from her eyes as she ran into the man's arms, his crimson eyes never leaving the silver haired man. Sasuke's arms wrapped around the woman as he continued to glare at the man, "That's enough." He repeated once again, his tone harsh as he directed the words towards his former sensei. Sasuke cupped Sakura's cheek, using his thumb to wipe away her tears, Sasuke whispered quietly to the woman, "Go back to the ball, I want to talk to Kakashi."

Sakura didn't even look back, refusing to speak as she walked back into the crowd. Sasuke watched her carefully until she had found Ino and Sai; feeling content now that she was with friends. "What the hell," Sasuke snarled as he looked back at his sensei.

Kakashi rose his hands in defense, "It was just a simple kiss," he quickly whimpered feeling the Uchiha's rage only grow.

"Not that," he snarled as he clenched his fists at his sides, "Telling her you want to love her," his crimson eyes sharpened, "Don't get her hopes up if you don't mean it."
